SongVault Artist Profile

A Quiet Mind rose from the murky depths of a humble karaoke bar in Corpus Christi, TX. In May 2007, three regular patrons of the bar joined with the bar's own DJ and began the works of what would later become a five piece hard rock orchestra of passion and aggression. In June, they debuted live at KC's Place, the bar the band will always call home. Since then, AQM has been featured on Corpus Christi's Rock Radio Station C101 on the undrground music promotion show called, New, as well as a Sinister Music Co. Compilation Disc including: Soil and The Max Cavalera Project, that was distributed Nationally. AQM has also been honored to have opened for a few national bands such as :: Sponge, Sevendust, Mudvayne, Nonpoint, HED P.E., In This Moment, A New Revolution, Soulidium and Eyes Set to Kill. Their songs range from sappy-regretful-heartache ballads to kick-you-in-the-teeth-and-spit-on-your-mother hard rock scream-alongs. A few members came and went at the start of the band's short career, but they have settled on :: Steve Vasquez on lead vocals, David Bray and Chris Tapia on guitar and backing vocals, Marcus Dane on bass and Animal on drums.
